>I just have to go with my gut and enjoy the parasocial relationship for what it is, while remaining aware that it is parasocial.
You're completely capable of experiencing this in an IRL relationship too. I would know, after I spent over a year pining for someone who was already taken, doing anything in my autistic power to get closer. You imagine how that went. Even if I had succeeded, there's no way the other person would have been capable of returning all my feelings.

If I'm being sincere though, that didn't stop me from making the same mistake again. But eventually I realized all of it is just not worth it. I don't want these bottled up feeling and fantasies. They won't make anyone or anything better or easier. But let's say, by some miracle you get a chance at meeting someone IRL; all this time will still not mean anything; at the very best, it's all going to be an Easter egg. You're at zero; if you put all the effort in your life to do it, the result is a chance at a zero. Everyone has their own life already going, would entering your life be easy for anyone else the way you want to do it with that person? Obviously not.

And girls don't like guys like that, anyway! Like I said, fight to win back your innocence. Think about what it is you really wanted at the start. It wasn't anything like these stupid, frustrated feelings. Not for me, it wasn't.
